<p>Just to answer a few questions, I’m a Junior, and YES I am an American Citizen.</p>
<p>I’m also the youngest in my family, so by the time I get to college, I’ll be the only one in school.</p>
<p>Okay, so judging from other threads, do colleges, FOR THE MOST PART, not always, assume that your parents can pay 1/4 of their income?
Because someone else said that their parents make $200k a year, and her EFC is $50k.
My sister is at a catholic university right now, &the tuition is about $29k a year. And she gets $9k in aid.
Leaving $20k expected to be paid by my parents, which is about 1/4 of our income.</p>
<p>(BTW, my parents don’t pay that $20k a year. My sister was hit by a car, and recieved $40k from court. So that’s how she goes to a private university)</p>
